War on the Chatterer.

A reform, which has come gradually
but quite definitely within the last few
years, is the extinction of the race of
beings who beat time unconsciously
with their feet upon the floor, their
fans upon the chair in front, or their
fingers upon the arm of the chair in
which they sit. l attribute this in great
measure to the frequent productions of
Wagners music, to which no creature
can beat the rhythm. However this
may be, this pulsating evidence of your
neighbours enjoyment is now seldom
felt, and 1 hope it has gore to join the
"Bowery tramp" in which the galleries
used to take such delight, and which
was, indeed, in its day, a soulful dem
onstration in comparison. But there
yet remains the chatterer, and to him -
or, quite as frequently, to her-I would
suggest that there be next directed the
relormatory influence of the danes and
demoiselles who have won such a nota-
BILE victory over the high hats. Boston

A Baffind Englishman.

In the new Life Of Claiming" says
a correspondent, an Englishman who
misplaced his his is said to have "dis-
turbed the fastidiousness of his hear
ers" at an important meeting. They
are very particu ar about their his in
America, and one rarely detects one
out of place. 1t was, however, my lot
once, and only once, though l listened
carefully for it at every church, theater,
and meeting that l attended. 1t was
in this wise: [ went to the museum
in Washington where the trophies of
the great war are collected. We were
shown over by an excellent guide, a
compound of clerk ana porter. After
looking at a great number of things,
unattractive to me, | confess, our man
came to us with flag in his hand.
"You are English, gentlemen" he
said, sand this will interest you; this
was taken on the Halabama.

In the Arkansaw Legislature: Mem
Speaker, hope, sir, that you win let
me have few minutes time in which
to place myself square on the record.
Yesterday evening Mr.. Buckley Brown,
from Gum Bottom, said that had ac-
cepted the present of new hat from a
railway superintendent, and limited, In
a way inclined to sting a sensitive man,
that had practically sold myself. L
should like to know if there is anything
in our constitution that prevents q man
from accepting presents. l say there
is not, and, sir, when our constitution
arises and says that shan't take every
thing that is given to me, then will 1
say, 'Mr. Constitution attend to your
own affairs Mr.. Speaker, / am pres
emit taker, and, as an encouragement TO
those who may contemplate giving me
something, let me say that my capacity
for taking presents, although well de-
veloped, has not been overtaxed. L
may also say that the man who won't
take q hat, and thereby save himself
the expense of buying one, is composed
of mixture of fool, liar, and thief. I'd
be afraid to meet such man away out
in the woods. j weuld feel sure that
he would knock me down and rob me.
l know of an affair in my county that
strongly illustrates the dishonesty OF
men who are afraid to accept presents.
A red bearded fellow named Watson
went to work for old man Clark, and
made himself so useful that Clark, who
well knew how to appreciate merit,
went to him and said:
Watson, never had man that L
think more of than l do you
Much obleeged to you, replied
Watson.
"And / have decided Clark con-
tinued, to give you my daughter, Lo-
lena.'
Much obleeged to you said Wat
son, but amt acceptin' any presents. ,
well, Mr.. Speaker, that man was so
honest that he would not accept the
daughter as present, but the next
day he ran away with Clark's wife.
Since then / have been extremely sus-
picious of men who are too high-toned
to accept presents, and, to keep other
fair-minded men from suspecting me, L
have determined to refuse nothing. -

Among the urgent needs of young
and old, common one is q cord or
line, bigger and stronger than any in
the "twine drawer" Nearly every one
knows how to twist and double bit
OF Irvine by making one end fast and
turning the other end between the
fingers until the whole is twisted so
firmly that it will @kink." and then let
ting it double upon itself and "kink"
throughout, making a cord of four
strands somewhat less than one-quarter
the original length of the string, after
which the loose ends are knotted to-
gether, and the deed is done.
But there are one or two difficulties
TO overcome when one wishes to double
twist long line: the fingers become
painfully tired and are likely to let the
line slip from the grasp, resulting in
are not wanted. Again, there is apt to
be trouble when the time comes to
double-which makes it probable that
Shakespeare had tried to make double
twists before he wrote the witches song
in Macbeth"
The following method is an easier
way of accomplishing the same end:
take piece of wood of size that can
be conveniently held in the hand, and
bore in it a hole several times the di-
ameter of the Irvine to be twisted. If
the twine is not too large, common
wooden spool will do admirably. Pro-
cure a small stick six or eight inches
long; lead-pencil will serve. Double
the string by tying the ends together.
Make loop in each end of the double
line, slip one of these loops over a nail
or anything that will bear the neces-
sary strain; pass the other loop through
the wood or spool, and then thrust the
small stick through the loop. When
the line is pulled taut the stick will be
in position across the bit of wood, and
can be turned rapidly and evenly
around in the direction that will also
twist the strands of string more
tightly.
Don't double this twisted line unless
you have some one to help you. If
you are alone it is better, before be-
ginning to twist at all, to make third
loop in the middle of the double cord.
Place this middle loop over the hook
or nail, and twist each half separately
before letting the two twist upon each
other.
To keep the first half from kinking
while twisting the second make it fast
and taut to some fixed point, or wind
it tightly around anything that will
hold it. Each of the two halves should
receive about the same number of turns
to insure evenness in the final double.
Perhaps the better way is to make two
separate twists, and then to allow them
TO Irvine around each other.
1t is good plan to stretch the first
two lengths side by side after they are
twisted, and lash the corresponding
ends together before allowing them to
take the final twist. Charles Ledydrd

The Sahara Desert.

The Sahara, the largest desert in the
world, occupies an area estimated at
from 100000 to 2,500,0 square
miles. The ste:il.ty of the Sahara is
largely attributable to the fact that the
prevailing northeast trade winds which
blow over its surface bring it no moist
ure, having been almost drained of
aqueous vapor in their long continental
journey over Europe and Asia. On the
mountains south of the Mediterranean
they deposit more than they have col
lected in their brief passage over the
sea. When they reach the heated
desert beyond, where the absorptive
capacity of the air is greatly increased
by the access of temperature, they bear
away moisture instead of bringing it,
and it is not condensed into rain until
it reaches the mountains of Central
Asia. The Sahara is probably subject
to higher temperature than any other
has been known to register l33 deg. f.
This terrific heat imparts their dreaded
characteristic to the simoons and other
similar winds blown off the desert.
According to Sir Charles Lyell the Sa-
hara was under water between latitude
20 degrees and 40 degrees \. at one
time during the glacial epoch, so that
there was water communication be-
tween the southern part of the Mediter-
ranean and that portion of the Atlantic
ocean now bounded by the west coast
of Africa. A project has of late been
advocated of reconverting the deeper
part of the Sahara, an area of about
10000 square miles, into sea, by cut
ting a canal from the Atlantic through
the sand hills which form the western
hnrIar
